Is COBRA worth it after a layoff? - 19 weeks in

I just got my COBRA paperwork and the deadline to decide is close. Thank you in advance. I saw that marketplace plans might cost less. Did anyone switch mid-year?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

If you have a planned treatment, COBRA can make sense for a few months. Otherwise look at the marketplace first.
